Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet and leave our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the very best teams in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber onto a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning in this season-opening battle onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a win and IMO, it said a lot about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real soccer, so will our records with this one and where the matches count.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out to change the civilization and win games. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However this is a significant moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The protection, well, which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record in which they went winless in ACC activity last year. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to gain some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Especially when he is working with a trainer and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was not just 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer on making a statement, and with this being a match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be better compared to last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is right, and also in this case they definitely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
